mccARicLEi HIDING.
Interviewed by Reporters while the
Officers are Hunting for Him.

Officers are Hunting for Him.
CHICAGO, Aug. Late last night the au-
thorities at Sarnia, Ont, received orders
from Chicago to arrest McGarigle, but up to
this morning they have been unable to find
him. McGarigle, in an interview last night.
said he was worn out with worry and excite
ment. "Say for me, however," he said to
the reporter, that will De back at Chicago
in less than three months, and when L come
| will not be bounded as thief" The ex-
warden declared that in his transactions
with the county board, and the men who
sold goods to the county, he acted simply as
an agent, and he was compelled to do that or
be forced out of his position. Not one cent
of the money stuck to his fingers. He never
dreamed of any such rascality as has been
developed, and he assured the reporter IL
was as much of a revelation TO him as il was
to any one else in Chicago.
McGarigle escaped in this way:
The schooners Marsh and Blake were in
the same tow, the Blake being last. The
tug Ori0le had been on the lookout here and
ran alongside the Blake, and had some con-
versation with the officers there. The OriOle,
haying Chicago detectives and reporters on
ly to have the captain of the Marsh let the
Blake's tow line go when they were In
American waters just opposite the Port
Huron water works, where the detectives
could take McGarigle. The Blake's lines
were let go, but at that instant yawl was
lowered from the Blake and McGarigle and
a sailor made for the Canada side, MeGar-
lyle being landed at Point Edward. The
Marsh went on and the Blake remained in
the river all this afternoon. McGarigle made
his way here and was driven to Courtright,
twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to
catch boat. He was driven back here,
however, and Is in town.
CHICAGO, Aug. I.-Dr. st. John, the
owner the schooner Blake, who is believed
to have personally assisted McGarigle to
escape was arrested this morning.
Judge Shepherd, today, 0verruled the pc
tltion for new trial in the case OF K. S.
Mcdonald, whom he, McGarigle, charged
with conspiracy. Mcdonald was sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary. The pc
tition of Mahon for arrest of Judgment was
also 0verruled.

rocks circulated in the air and came down
after the usual fashion. One piece, as large
as ones head, sailed of in the direction Of
the cottage occupied by the Doctor and
alighted squarely on the roof Il djsannear-

hole, and brought up ON the ceiling lust over
the Doctors head. As that gentleman was

that he had a narrow escape. and would like
to bring suit against somebody for breaking

constitute the greatest nation on the earth
We are too apt to forget the nation and To-
calize our interests When we think of
what has taken place on this continent the
wonder of the Arabian Nights fades. This
nation was founded to grant TO each man the
completest liberty in the worship of the Gre
ator and pursuit of knowledge. This ma.
tion began through the pursuit of religious
liberty, through the efforts to send forth. as
you are doing today, the glad evangel of edu-
cation. Throwing aside the examples of the
past, turning their faces against the tradi-
tions of monarchy, our fathers landed here
and erected an altar to God and to education.
The world knows the result today, a nation
stretching from one ocean to the other, an
empire in its extent. today twenty-five times
greater than the potent kingdom of Great
Britain: An experiment that has gone on
increasing till today, our nation cares for
not less than sixty-one millions, all partici-
pants In the government of the whole. My
friends, its great thing to live in such
country, its magnificent thing to be baby
born into such country. We must not for
get the splendid responsibility that rests up
on each one OF us; In anticipation OF my
visit here looked over the tenth census.
The mind Is almost unable to grasp the
growth OF this country in 100 years. This
growth is traceable to the education of the
people. The influence of the home is car
ried out into the patriotism of the citizen.
We need these influences of yours in carry
ing out these principles.
Hearty votes of thanks were passed to
Gov. Bodwell and Mr.. Boutelle. The Cover
nor was made an honorary member of the
class of 'SS and Mr.. Boutelle of 80. The
President of the class of 80, in conferring
the badge on Congressman Boutelle. said:
I'VE will not require you to wear it at WASH
ington," and Mr.. Boutelle responded that he
would not be ashamed to wear it anywhere.
The President of 'S9 said he was very sorry
that he had not thought of it before. If the
speaker for the morning had only been
present I'VE would Reed him lesson" A
general handshaking with the. Governor
followed.
Tomorrow the Chautauquans go through
